Succotash Shut-In

Succotash Chats Epi185: Chillin' & Killin' with Dean & Phil

Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, was launched in 2011 with the idea of promoting comedy soundcasts in what was then a marketplace still trying to find its way. By featuring short clips of shows being produced by funny folks both known and unknown, we like to feel that we maybe had a little tiny, eeny weeny, itsy bitsy bit to do with helping to ignite the torch of soundcasts across the globe! (But then we've always had a rather high opinion of ourselves...)

Original show host and executive producer Marc Hershon, along with booth announcer Bill Heywatt, engineer/producer Joe Paulino, associate producer Tyson Saner, musical director Scott Carvey, and booth assistant Kenny Durgis have kept the flame alive o'er these many years. In 2018, Hershon abandoned the host chair and anointed Saner to the position, with nary a notice from the legions of listeners. Typical.

Felicxan
Novjaron, estas mi Tyson Saner,
your host for this special "First Succotash, The Comedy
Soundcast Soundcast of the Year" edition of Succotash, The
Comedy Soundcast Soundcast… and - let's not kid ourselves - this
"Chats" episode very likely could not have come at a more
appropriate time.

Your
friends in podcasting, Phil Leirness and
Dean Haglund of Chillpak Hollywood Hour
agreed to sit down with me earlier this week to discuss their
brilliant independent film, the dark comedy The Lady
Killers. If you are an adult and have not seen this film yet,
I believe that you should. It explores the theme of Toxic
Masculinity and its symptoms of
"Sexual-Conquest-as-Friendly(?)-Competition" as well as the
plausible consequences involved when it all "stops being fun" and
starts being deadly.

Just
for clarification, this film is NOT a remake of the 1955 film
The Ladykillers. THAT film WAS remade in 2004 and directed
by Ethan and Joel Cohn. This more
recent film was released in 2017 and its title is comprised of 3
words. If you Google it as three words, those words being "The",
"Lady", and "Killers" Google will ask you if you meant to search
for those other films.

In
addition to OUR interview with the hosts of YOUR Chillpak
Hollywood Hour, I've got a single Burst O' Durst from
Raging Moderate Will Durst, and selected reading
from TrumPoetry.com!

And
there you have it.

The
first Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast of the
year in the can…or indeed out of the can and into your ear-mouths
and ear-bellies… okay, THAT'S just horrifying, sorry about
that…

I'd
like to thank our guests Phil Leirness and Dean Haglund of
Chillpak Hollywood Hour again for agreeing to spend time
chatting with me about their film and, as you heard, other
topics…

Chillpak
Hollywood Hour can be heard on Blog Talk Radio, Stitcher and
iTunes, and you can find the archive of "Chillpak Hollywood Hour"
at chillpakhollywood.com. The show
can be reached on Twitter at @DeanAndPhil, Phil at @philleirness and Dean at @dhaglund and remember you can find the website of
their 2017 film "The Lady Killers" (three words) at theladykillersmovie.com where
you can purchase the film on disc as well as be updated on
theatrical screenings of The Lady Killers when those
are announced.

If you
want to see it at home or on your device there are MANY options
including iTunes, Google Play, VUDU, Microsoft Store, Amazon Prime
Video, Flix Fling, Direct TV, Fandango NOW, Verizon's Watch Fios
service, YouTube, MCTV and Steam.

I'd
also like to thank you, the listener for spending time with us this
episode and every episode you choose to listen to. You are nothing
if not spoiled for choice of what to listen to…and I am nothing
without you. Ok, that's a bit much. I shouldn't say I'm nothing
even when attempting to compliment you. It's unhealthy behaviour
and I made a New Year's Resolution to be healthier both physically
and mentally… so we'll see how that goes.

I hope
your 2019 shapes up to be a delightful one and I also hope that the
film The Lady Killers becomes part of the larger
conversation about how humans treat each other… so we'll see how
that goes as well. Thank you again for listening and if I could ask
something only slightly more of you it would be to tell other
people about this program as well as the programs featured within
for that is what we mean when we ask you to (Please) Pass The
Succotash.
